[Patch 1/5] Allow arch-specific cleanup before breakpoint unregistration

["K.Prasad" <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Certain architectures (such as PowerPC Book III S) have a need to cleanup
data-structures before the breakpoint is unregistered. This patch introduces
an arch-specific hook in release_bp_slot() along with a weak definition in
the form of a stub funciton.
